Drifter Jack’s is passionate about hosteling. We know that hostels have the potential to create lifelong friendships and unforgettable memories. Our favorite hostels around the world made it fun and easy to connect with other travelers while experiencing the city like a local. That is exactly what we strive to do.

Once a week our very own hostel mom serves 10-hour slow roasted pork shoulder or chicken thighs w/ her homemade BBQ sauce, borracho beans, cornbread, veggies and sweet tea. At DJ’s our focus is on community, cleanliness and comfort.

In order to truly represent our creative city, we invited over 25 local artists to paint murals throughout every room and common area.
